Glad it was helpful!

NO _ it is not essential to have a Thermal Camera. You have Thermal sensitive fingers God gave you for FREE Use those - When you have located the approximate area of heat source - use Alcohol or Butane to determine the exact the component in the area.

You are right. But tye description of the product came from the manufacturer.

So nice of you

long time to post a video of repair... i will be glad to watch from you something new.

If red probe touch the ground the light indicator will goes off meaning it goes to safety mode. If you start at low voltage and do it quick it will not damage the unit. Just observe the current reading.

@@biomedicalelectronicsengin7192 wow, what a fast reply, that's it, i will pick this one, thank you for the reply, i really appreciated it 😁

If you don't know VCC from ground you shouldn't even think about buying one of these

@@shaunmorrissey7313i have it already, so is it wrong to own it?

The unit itself shut off? For safety reason the blue light indicator will off when you join the probes but not the unit itself.

The board that i use in this video is operating at 17vdc. The max voltage of VC04 is only 3.8. If we inject voltage the short component will get hot. You should identify it quickly. Injecting the voltage for longer period of time will damage other components. Some are using flir cam after they inject the voltage to find the components that gets hot but flir cam is expensive so in this video i use alcohol. If you will use the VC04 on mobile phone and laptop boards start from the lowest voltage.

Yes bro...maraming salamat

No need po.

Hi friend...first of all resistor dont cause a short. You cannot use this on resistor. If you put on IC you should identify the pin. Because if you put this on the ground pin then it will read short even there is no short. Start from small voltage to be safe...thanks for your comment.

@@biomedicalelectronicsengin7192 yes sir, if you identified the resistor is good, can i place the prove in the resistor to see if there is a short components near the resistor. thanks sir and have a good day.

What readings do you see on the blue tester when it detected the short?

1. You have to know what is the voltage rail - The reason is that when there are a lower working voltage you apply a higher voltage to - it will destroy the lower-rated voltage components - such as microprocessors and so on. Make sure to know what any particular volt=yage rail you are working on - and what sensitive devices are on that rail before applying an excessive voltage. The tool is dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced and fools - and will damage boards beyond repair if not careful. Make sure to understand the fault-finding process and voltage rails

i think the probes might be reversed

No option for setting up ampere. Once the ampere reading goes high from there you can detertine if there is short

Thanks for watching

Good..but needs extra care. Exposing the board to high current for a long time can damage other components.

@@biomedicalelectronicsengin7192 Should use the lowest voltage?

@@goku445 start with the low voltage. If the short component dont heat up increase the voltage.

Thanks....more power

Kung shorted ang gpu mag beep din ang multimeter. Start ka muna sa low voltage. Wag masyadong patagalin baka masira ibang component.

Dito sa saudi bro sa banggood... mas mura kasi direct yan sa china pero medyo matagal lng delivery

The word is CURRENT not AMPERAGE AMPS is the measurement unit of current You have much to learn to educate yourself/ Better start reading - study more before you attempt any work

@@andrew_koala2974 wtf are u talking about? Amperage is a completely valid & correct term to use in this context. In practical terms, it is the amount of current in amps, which is the answer he was looking for, and also the answer that was provided.

​@@andrew_koala2974you need to go back to basic electronics to know exactly what you're talking about. Amps is basically the measurement in current flow in relation to voltage, hence current is measured by Amps.

bench supply shuts off when there is a short. this little short detector don´t shut off

@@johns.185 not when you're injecting voltage into a cap like that. The supply will function just like the short killer no?

A switchmode bench supply is useless - as it will trip when a S/C is detected. However one can use a LINEAR power supply. Clearly, you do not understand Power Supplies

You can order from Banggod. Direct from china.

I buy it from banggood. m.banggood.com/buy/mechanic-vc04-short-circuit-detector.html
